Online previews of your scanned photos
As
part of our service, we will load your photos to our site so
that you can preview the scans being done for you. This is
a change from our emails with sample scans attached to
them. By providing on-line viewing of your images, we
eliminate emails with large attachments and are able to
provide you views of more images than via email. These
scans can be previewed by your, your family or anyone else
you share the link with. For a sample,Click
her to view Sample Preview Site and you
will see a sample preview.
Bonus Contact Proof Sheets Included with
each order
Included
with each order, you will receive a set of contact proof
sheets for your order(max 10 hard copies).
Typically these proof sheets will be grouped per group of
slides (carousel, box, etc.). The images will have the file
names for the corresponding scans, thus giving you an easy
way to compare/match your scanned images to the original
slides. You will receive PDF files of all the contact proof
sheets.
Use the Contact Sheet to find images
See
a scanned image and want to get the original? You no longer
have to hunt and guess which box of slides the original is
in. Just look at the contact sheet, see the box (group)
number and image number and then go to the corresponding
box. Typically the slides will be in the same sequence --
at least when sent back to you. Now that is a much easier
way to find the original image!
Hard Copies and PDF files
The
contact proof sheets will be provided to you as hard copies
printed on photo paper (max 10 hard copies) and as
PDF files on your data disk. This will allow you to print
additional copied when you want to.
DVD Slide Shows
We
provide high quality images that can be used if you wish to
create DVD slide shows of your newly scanned images. You
will need a software package that allows you to create DVD
Slide Shows. Be aware that many packages exist on the
market. Many package will reformat the images and reduce
the overall quality of the image. In addition to seeing the
normal quality degradation you will have if viewing on a TV
(unless you create a HD Slide Show), these low end
programs will decrease the overall viewing quality. The
sample/demo software in the included bonus software we
include with your slide conversions will typically retain
the original image quality. When you create a DVD Slide
Show, all you will need to do is insert the DVD in the PC
DVD player and the Slide Show will begin automatically
display. On your PC this is only true if you have your PC
DVD player to self start when you insert a DVD.
When
you insert your DVD slide show in your TV DVD player, the
slide show will begin automatically, allowing you to select
which chapter you wish to start with.
Note:
Image DVD's are data disk and can only be viewed on your PC.
The disk you receive will ONLY work on a PC and not a TV DVD
player. You must create a DVD slide show to display
the images on your TV DVD player.
New HDTV and Blue Ray DVD Players
will in many cases play Data DVD disk - whereas old DVD
players would not read data DVD disk. What does this
mean for you? Just as you can now view your images on
your computer with a data DVD disk full of images, you can
now (in most cases) play your data DVD disk in your Blue Ray
disk player and what your slides on your TV. Your HDTV
will normally have a menu allowing you to view JPG (and
other format) images on your TV via a USB flash card.
Likewise, your Blue Ray DVD player will have a menu
providing various options for viewing images from your data
DVD disk (you may have image size restrictions). Some
units will even play music to your "slide show".
Apple TV - just like a will allow you to
download images from your computer to the unit, and then
will play the images yourTV for you -
to include music along with the slide show. It by far
provides the most extensive capability for viewing images
from your computer on your TV/
